Nature could destroy all the things we have created in matter of days humans are not above nature, look at New Orleans an age old city destroyed overnight the planet is a fine balance and IMO there will be a point where it can’t support us anymore and it will find a way to destroy us

How could nature destroy mankind in days? Even the largest disaster in my memory (the Indian Ocean Tsunami) killed only a few hundred thousand people, and only destroyed buildings near the coast, or a few miles inland. And it had nothing to do with global warming. I suppose there has been some pretty devestating plagues, but a certain percentage is always imune, and famines are usually confined and short-lived (relatively).
And how was New Orleans destroyed? Millions of people still live there, and it held Mardi Gras a few months after the hurricane. (I also wouldn't call New Orleans age old. It was probably founded only three or four hundred years ago).
So we could sign kyoto, laugh it up when the red chinese invade in 50 years (which isn't neccesarilly bad) because our economy stops growing (I heard yesterday Canada is 174th in the world in that department already), or we could not sign kyoto and wait until science finds cleaner energy without the economic costs.
